Driving in Europe: Toll Roads

In all EU countries, it is compulsory to wear seatbelts in both the front and back of the car.

Remember to drive on the left side of the road in Cyprus, Ireland, Malta and the United Kingdom and remember that in some countries, such as Belgium, France and the Netherlands, you normally have to give way to traffic coming from your right.

Using a mobile phone while driving increases the risk of a fatal accident by five times. It is either explicitly or implicitly forbidden in all EU countries. In some countries, the use of hands-free devices is tolerated. The maximum permitted blood alcohol level varies between 0.2 mg/ml and 0.9 mg/ml in the majority of countries. Some countries, however, do not allow any alcohol in the blood while driving.
